In a small manganese oxide cluster, teams from HZB and HU Berlin have discovered a particularly exciting compound: two high-spin manganese centers in two very different oxidation states. This complex ...

We find that it is the 4s orbital electrons that are ionised first before the 3d orbitals. We have to conclude that, ironically for the d-block elements, the 4s orbitals are in fact higher in energy ...

Then, using modern computational methods, we simulated large enough systems to definitively show that this is a true phase transition, similar to what happens with electrons in disordered metals." ...

Transition metals are also excellent thermal conductors ... with five or more electrons in their valence shell. Readily available phosphorus is a common choice. The "spare" electron from each ...

“Although a wide range of [superconductor] correlated phenomena have indeed been observed in the moiré TMDs, robust demonstration of superconductivity has remained absent,” the researchers said in a ...

Another is when electrons form orderly patterns, a bit like a collection of synchronized dancers. Observing geometry could help scientists design new materials with novel electronic traits. The team ...
